<The photographer: Philipp Gladsome was born in 1989 in Karl-Marx-Stadt and grew up in Chemnitz. From there he first moved to Leipzig in 2002, before he trained as a social assistant in Berlin. After successfully completing his training, he taught himself photography. Today he commutes between Berlin and his hometown Chemnitz, but his main work as a portrait and music photographer takes him all over the world (if the coronavirus doesn't stop him). During his career he has photographed a number of national and international stars, including Dita von Teese, Matthias Schweighöfer, Robin Schulz, Gregory Porter and U2. He also does advertising shoots, for example for Adidas, Porsche, Volkswagen and Samsung.
